Did you ever thought about what a world-changing, paradigm shifting, curve-jumping invention tomato sauce was?
It's hard to find out who invented tomato sauce ( at least I gave up after 4 minutes of search on Google and Wikipedia) but the idea intrigues me.
Anyway, the reason why I talk about tomato sauce it's because I started to use this analogy alot lately and I wanted to share it with you.
When I think about Supercool School ( or any other web app), I think about tomato sauce. Just like tomato sauce - ScS is a great idea, a great invention per se.
But I wonder if the first recipe, the first mixture was really a success or not more likely a failure. Because it doesn't matter if you like tomato sauce or not - if you got the recipe wrong and you put too much or too little of some ingredients in it - it won't taste good!
And that's something everyone who does something new must understand: we're all in the tomato sauce business!
If you come up with the first version of your product, web app etc. etc. and people don't go instantly "mmmhhh....yummy!" that only means you gotta go back to the kitchen table and work on the recipe ( not necessarily the concept) till you got it right.
The web is a great place full of app-gourmets. Get your idea out there, see if it's tasty, change the ingredient till you got it right - and then make ppl happy!
Because it's not about the source - it's about the sauce!
